    But why is Redlinkup and myself tied on points? I've been playing, yet my points stay the same on the global leaderboards. How do I get points then?

    Are you sure?? Seems to me that they are based on medal instead of scores... Just got plat right now on Marsh Edge (now we have played the same number of tracks) but i'm tied to Ch4re0n on the GLB. 159.000000

    Well, that was the original design idea. I personally don't know much about the implementation, but I'll take a look.

    Hey guys,

    Thanks for the feedback so far, and sorry for anyone having issues with the new features.

    Regarding the Marauder requirement mission, this was a little bug that slipped out with the newest update and if you are at the very end of the soft launch then this mission accidentally gets revealed. You will be able to complete it after we release our next update (which will include a TON of new content!).

    For those that are not unlocking A.N.B.A. but are at the end of the soft launch, this is unfortunately another bug that is a result of adding in new missions to the mission flow before the point you have progressed to. You will not be able to access A.N.B.A. until we release a patch unfortunately, this has also happened to my own personal account.

    As far as global leaderboards go, we're still trying to work out the bugs but it does seem there are some strange scoring going on. Releasing these types of features are always at risk of having a few bumps at first considering the scope.

    And I suppose I will also address the "coins and grind" concerns mentioned earlier in this thread. We have not reduced any amount of coins given from racing or increased the cost of any upgrades with this update. It is actually much easier to grind for coins now because ANBA rewards nearly as many coins per mission completed as the "best" normal mission you have already completed, so he is actually a great source of coins for players. He also functions this way for XP, so you can level up much easier as well and do not hit an artificial ceiling when you complete all normal missions. All in all we believe we've made the game actually more friendly for players who are looking to grind for coins or levels.

    Thanks again everyone, looking forward to hearing more feedback, and can't wait for you all to get your hands on the World Wide launch version on APRIL 10th!!

    Thank you, Swan, for the response.

    The ANBA system is a very interesting addition to the game. It's a concept that's good enough for Fusion if that was possible. And it is a good source of coins/XP.

    The global leaderboards is obviously a welcome addition.

    The jackpot changes seem a bit overkill. It would've been much better to charge 5 gems instead.

    And I'm impressed by most of the lines in the game. They have more depth than I had anticipated.


    I just want you to know that the reason I am so frustrated is because I thoroughly enjoy the gameplay, and the fuel keeps me from enjoying it. You made a great game, but implemented a system that takes advantage of the addicts like me, and all of the other hardcore fans of the series.

    Do you guys have an ETA on this patch?

    And... Does this happen to those players who ride the Marauder mission before the others? I ask as it was the first mission I played on this update.

    i would love it if this was the case, but it currently is not. you get a flat 3 million score for platinum on a track, with no more score given for time improvement. as it stands, it's really not competitive, its just a race to plat all tracks first, then you sit at rank 1 waiting for new content.

    heres hoping the system works more like evo LBs in future

    haha i dont. I have not fooled myself into thinking im actually a top 10 player in this game. I just know that i spent a ****load of time playing so that is why im so high ranked because i have upgrade my Tango to max capability. Im sure when the game goes global and people begin to grind i will then be put back in my place in the ranks. no worries though i still love the game.
